I find it VERY odd that Adam hasn't tweeted anything about Amy Winehouse. She was one of his favorite singers. Maybe he will later. Oh well maybe it's because it's very late for me here,but the day in the US is just in the middle, we'll see. Maybe he's too busy.   |

Oh well maybe it's because it's very late for me here,but the day in the US is just in the middle, we'll see. I hope that he doesn't. Firstly, I don't want Adam's name in those cheap "celebrities react to a person's death" articles that I despise. Secondly, I see it highly distasteful that people are mourning ten times more (in twitter, in here etc.) about a death of a known drug addict than the 85 innocent people, most of them teens, that were murdered by a right-wing extremist lunatic in Norway. At basically the same time. I understand that tragedies shouldn't be compared, a death of 85 doesn't make a death of one any less tragic, but still. Is it that much easier to relate to a death of a celebrity than deaths of unknowns? |

I think people are still in shock and rather overwhelmed by what happened in Norway, and can not really speak about it much as yet. Just saying Rest in Peace or one of the other simple statements of mourning does not seem sufficient. Many are still too broken-hearted to find the words.

No words can satisfactorily speak to this carnage! |

Is it that much easier to relate to a death of a celebrity than deaths of unknowns? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is a celebrity fan site? Amy Winehouse was an entertainer as is Adam and I think that people here may post about the death of a celebrity vs any other. As far as twitter goes...what you see is all in who you follow. Maybe you should consider unfollowing some people. |

Not a fan of Amy Winehouse, but condolences to her family and friends.

Madness has no words that can explain or lessen it's impact. Amy Winehouse's death seems somehow predestined but no less sad for joining the long line of talented people who leave their lives before time and often by their own hand. Tweeting about either / or is just another way people express their horror, sadness, frustration and condolences in the 21st C - a kind off global sharing over metaphorical coffee... "did you hear, yes isn't it awful..."

Is it that much easier to relate to a death of a celebrity than deaths of unknowns? This has been a horrible day and I think so many people are feeling confused and shocked and just... raw with pain. I agree with Nonotme, words are insufficient and feel almost meaningless in the face of such tragedy. Perhaps it's easier to speak about one person whose reason for death is at least in some way comprehensible. Many were familiar with Amy and her music and her ongoing struggle. Her death, as horrible as it is, has some precedent, and people are dealing with it in the way they often deal with celebrity deaths. What happened in Norway is beyond understanding, and I think it is so big and so awful that there is no way to capture the emotions it brings up. It feels weird to say, but in a way I think people can focus their grief on Amy and feel like it's manageable. Grief is so, so complicated, and I say this as someone who works in the field of end-of-life. Some things are so enormously painful that they are unspeakable. My heart goes out to everyone affected by these deaths. |
